SV Wehen Wiesbaden vs Bayern Munich Preview

Tournament: DFB Pokal

Date: Wednesday, 27th August 2025

Kick-off Time: 06:45 PM GMT

Venue: BRITA-Arena

After crushing RB Leipzig 6-0 in the opening game of the Bundesliga, Bavarian giants Bayern Munich will be pumped up when they face third-tier side Wehen Wiesbaden in the first round of the DFB Pokal at the BRITA-Arena on Wednesday. For Wiesbaden, it would be a great opportunity to test themselves against a world-class opposition, who have been performing at the top level for a very long time.

Due to their team's performance in these early weeks of the season, Wehen fans must feel like they've been on a rollercoaster. While the Wiesbaden club beat SSV Ulm 3-1 to begin the season, that was as good as it got. Wehen went to Verl one week later and were up 2-0 in the first twenty minutes. At Sportclub Arena, their early advantage was squandered by the team, and they ended in a 2-2 draw. Last Saturday saw the rollercoaster take another wild turn as Wehen lost a drama-filled match against Rot Weiss Essen 4-3, conceding a goal in the 94th minute.

The Bavarians, on the other hand, under Vincent Kompany, are committed to bringing an end to the team's five-year quest for DFB Pokal glory. You would think that after winning this competition 20 times, more than any other club, the desire to win it again would fade. Nonetheless, winning the cup this time would seem significant because Bayern hasn't held the title for five long seasons.

Given the disparity in skill between the two teams as well as their previous performance, Bayern is predicted to easily advance to the competition's second round. As mentioned in the Wehen Wiesbaden vs Bayern Munich prediction, anything less than a resounding victory would be viewed as unsatisfactory, even though the Bavarians are anticipated to make adjustments.

SV Wehen Wiesbaden Team News

Wehen, who are presently led by Nils Doring, a former player, have had a successful summer recruiting. Many new players have joined the team, and the majority of them have already made appearances this season. For example, Jordy Gillekens scored one of the goals last week against Essen. With goalie Stritzel, May and Gillekens in defence; Johansson and Schleimer on the sides; and Kaya and Moritz Flotho heading the attack, the squad is probably going to line up in a 4-4-2.

Bayern Munich Team News

Bayern, meanwhile, are still pursuing potential additions and are not nearly finished with the transfer market. In games like Wednesday's, there isn't much space for rotation because there are only 22 healthy first-team players. Alphonso Davies and German midfield maestro Jamal Musiala are both still out due to chronic injuries. Due to an emergency appendectomy, Tom Bischof has also been added to the list of injured. Vincent Kompany is anticipated to start a solid team with Ulreich in goal, Guerreiro, Min-jae, Upamecano, and Boey in defence, and Kimmich and Pavlovic in the midfield, barring any last-minute setbacks. Lead striker Harry Kane, who is in excellent form and is sure to start at the point of attack, should be supported further forward by the attacking trio of Olise, Diaz, and youthful Max Karl.

SV Wehen Wiesbaden vs Bayern Munich Head-to-Head Record

The first-ever professional meeting between Wehen Wiesbaden and Bayern Munich is scheduled for August 27, in the first round of the German cup competition, DFB Pokal, making their current head-to-head record at the senior level zero previous matches.

Key Players to Watch Out for in SV Wehen Wiesbaden vs Bayern Munich

Fatih Kaya (SV Wehen Wiesbaden)

Kaya, who signed for the German outfit in the 2024–25 season, proved his mettle during his time in the 3. Liga, scoring 20 goals. Early goals and regularly high match ratings prove his long-term threat in front of the goal, which underlines his early contribution this season. Kaya is a threat from set pieces and in counterattacks because of his powerful aerial presence, clever movement within the box, and ability to play with either foot. As Wiesbaden is opposing a far more powerful Bayern side, Kaya's ability to make the most of scraps of opportunities and take the line out physically might be what will distinguish the underdogs from victory.

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

The Bayern Munich talisman Harry Kane is joining the game fresh off another incredible Bundesliga season, where he scored 26 goals in 31 matches and is named in the Wehen Wiesbaden vs Bayern Munich predicted lineups. He has already scored goals in league and cup games this season, so his start to 2025–26 is no less deadly. He is, now, Germany's, maybe Europe's, top striker, judged on his form, consistency, and captaincy. Bayern is made significantly more solid by Kane's finishing accuracy, ability to drop deep and join the play, and ability to come through under pressure in crucial cup matches. Bayern Munich's strategy when playing against defence-minded teams like Wiesbaden will be made that much stronger by Kane's maturity, experience, and box ability, and they may be the difference between a routine victory and a possible upset.

SV Wehen Wiesbaden vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Given their recent performance, class difference, and cup history, Bayern Munich is frequently predicted to win handily, as mentioned in the Wehen Wiesbaden vs Bayern Munich preview. It seems likely that the Bavarians will win by a score of three goals or more, with most forecasts settling around a 4-0 or 5-0 victory away from home.

Predicted Score: SV Wehen Wiesbaden 0-4 Bayern Munich
